Have a great week.
Could you please play “The Touchables” by The Human League?
Fun episode tonight! Goodnight!
Please play more Big Black
+1 how about the live version of Cables from Pigpile??
Could you play some Gravity Kills for next week?
That was one helluva playlist. Especially appreciated X and Gun Club back to back. Thanks.
Can you play pink turns blue-can’t be love
Could you play something off of Hi How Are You by Daniel Johnston
Please
Could you please play “No New Tale to Tell” from Love and Rockets. Recently discovered your show and I love it. I have a long commute and your show has been the best soundtrack. Thank you.
♧Whispered ravens stab rhythm and blues
Kick off your flares and platform shoes
And Burn Like Brilliant Trash (At Jackie’s Funeral)♧
How about this little tune from Machines Of Loving Grace?
Hey Matt
Thanks for playing The Chameleons!!
Here’s a new Chameleons request: Soul in Isolation (from their ‘Strange Times’ release).
Cheers
JR
Sisters of Mercy – More
Great action-packed set, much obliged. May I request…
Cow – Gene Loves Jezebel
In Bluer Skies – Echo & the Bunnymen
Wires – Voyager One
I’ll second Cow! I love that song.
Love the song “Cow” requested ” Shaving My Neck” for this past show, hopefully GLJ gets played next week
How about “More than a Party” by Depeche Mode
Thanks Matt
Constantine
How about Skinny Puppy – K9 for next week?
Enjoyed the deep cuts and the back to back X/Gun Club choices. I just finished “Some New Kind of Kick” by Kid Congo Powers and much love to that (darker) era of the LA Punk scene.
Here are some requests –
Galaxie 500 – Strange
And anything from Love and Rockets, as the exciting news of their first live show(s) in forever is something to celebrate.
Thanks!
The Smiths – Suffer Little Children
Thank you Matt for playing 2 of my requests this week: Above The Ruins, and The Gun Club. Looks like The Gun Club song went over real well. Looking forward to next week’s show, hopefully some of my requests from this past week might show up next week? One can only hope (Dead Kennedys, Plasmatics, Misfits) Thank you from Crooklyn New York
Fabulous show Matt. Loved the Joy Division deep cut, that’s an underrated track. Totally agree with others about that latter part of hour 2 with X and Gun Club and I will take all The Birthday Party I can get. Already looking forward to next Sunday.
Cheers!
Please play my favorite Chameleon’s song, “Souls in Isolation” please & thank you
Love this show! Could you please play “Kelly’s Blues” by The Triffids? Thank you!
Wowza Matt great set list this week…loved hour 2&3!!!! Thank you for The Mission..it meant alot!!! I know you’re bogged down with requests so I’ll defer to last week’s selections – especially the She Past Away …. really getting back into them lately.
Thanks much as always! ｡◕‿◕｡
Another great show, thanks Matt!
Next time you’re putting together an X-y set, some Geraldine Fibbers might fit in nicely, though they’re of a bit of a later era band. Dragon Lady or anything off of Lost Somewhere Between the Earth and My Home. Thanks and happy new year to all the dark wave’rs out there!
Special songs selected in hour 1 and 2, but hour 3 was my favorite. Have a great week all.
Possible to play any Sleep Chamber?
Angelic episode.
This week’s Darkness Award:
Ministry, “The Angel”
THE very definition of a perfect song.
